Checkin not open when we arrived at the Terminal.
After checkin there was a bag scan without laptop out separately, then through to Immigration and another bag scan, this time with laptops out, and a pat down for me. At the gate there was another bag check by hand.
1940 Boarding through Gate 9 and seat allocation 16H.
2011 Rolling on Runway 07R with a 42 sec takeoff roll.
2105 Dinner served.
Knowing that the movie selection is poor, I tried to sleep as best you can in a tight seat pitch and hard seat - not very comfortable, but I woke up on the Queensland boarder.

I would rate Vietnam Airlines as generally Average, our trip to the US and Canada last Spetember was much better on the Air Canada B777, particularly the seat and leg room.
